Thank you ☺️

No this was a store find while on vacation

Birthday cake! I only eat cake 2-3 times a year now so this one was special.

Beach vacation! I wore a bathing suit but there are no pics.

I can’t even consider it because of the texture. 😢

Sometimes this happens to me specifically with cashews and brazil nuts if they are hot/sweaty (going racid)

Congratulations!

Just no. Absolutely no thanks to all of this tomfoolery. Never let them cheap out on you again.

Ive have multiple endoscopies and I was never awake for any of them. What was the reason they didn’t sedate you the first time? Edit: I see now that it was twilight sedation

Hoping your next year is filled good news and events ❤️

I bet your dinner companions are always happy!

Burger!

I *usually* fall into the non cook side these days so don’t worry about being a pro chef on the Food Before and After Thread. The pandemic destroyed my love of cooking. I did too much. These days like to batch cook and eat the same things until they’re gone. I have zero problems eating the same things on repeat because I don’t really crave specific foods (except chocolate) I just get hungry in general. TBH I don’t use traditional sweeteners often but when I do it’s VERY sparingly and actually measured. I prefer buy premade glazes so I can control the calories. Most of favorite things are also the easiest, like air fryer naked chicken tenders. Just thin slices chicken breast spices and a little oil.

I would absolutely join you for tea, Lately I’ve been fixated on oolong and black but please have an extra cup of green for me! This place looked like just a tea shop but unfortunately it was a boba tea shop. I couldn’t have anything that they served or I would be sick. 😩 But my daughter loves these places.

Read entire thing but especially page 7 of 9 for some reassurance ❤️ https://www.bmiut.com/pdf/long-term-outcomes-of-primary-single-anastomosis-duodeno-ileal-bypass-with-sleeve-gastrectomy.pdf

Where is everyone else these days? I’m in a tea shop 😝

Mashed potatoes and pepper salmon I was super busy all day and didn’t get to eat until 6pm plusI had to cook (at least the food was good)

Why are these grapes so big? Or are your hands petite?

The only time I vomited post revision was when I had a stricture. It was after every meal and I wasn’t over eating so that was a big clue that something was not right. Are you over capacity when this happens, just certain foods or every time?

It’s unfortunate you are experiencing some issues! D Mannose works well for UTIs and is available in almost every vitamin sections in stores. For the skin issues, have you considered a specialized soap? Also you can keep reinfecting yourself through clothing that is infected. Definitely see a dermatologist if you can. You said you are in remission now but your fasting issues may be connected to your diabetes. Do you monitor you blood glucose levels while fasting? I can still dry fast for over 24 hrs with no issues and wet fast for over 36hrs but I don’t have diabetes. Everyone is different so take that with a grain of salt. Some things may improve for you the further out from surgery you get or with continued weightloss. Good Luck!

Weighing in: I’ve lost around 100 lbs and my ring size has gone from 10 to 8, so I am in fact big boned lol ! But to answer your original question, I never resized my (various) rings, I just wear them on different fingers now.

Ay there’s the rub I currently hate cooking 😝

This looks amazing! What is in the cinnamon broth (besides cinnamon of course)?

cheesy waffle (not for me) & burger w/ fries (split between 2 people) I liked the idea of the cheesy waffle but then I made it and decided it was not for me.

Totally not worth it 😝 I couldn’t always tolerate bread (and I still don’t eat soft breads) but over time it’s become easier. I like cucumbers soaked in sesame oil and lime
